The Nokia N8 Is A Great New Camera Phone

Arguably one of the most exciting handsets from mobile phone giant Nokia

, the Nokia N8 provides a simply stunning list of specifications with impressive hardware. One of the major strings to this handsets bow is the inclusion of an amazing 12 mega pixel digital camera.

The Nokia N8 provides fast Internet access via both 3G coverage and Wi-Fi. In areas covered by 3G, access the Internet is provided courtesy of an HSDPA connection at speeds of up to 10.2 mega bytes per second, along with HSUPA at 2 MB per second.

As mentioned, the Nokia N8 comes equipped with an impressive digital camera boasting a whopping 12 mega pixels. This operates at a pixel resolution of 4000x 3000 pixels and includes Carl Zeiss optics, Autofocus and a Xenon flash, leaving users with no doubts over the cameras quality. Face and smile detection is also included to simplify the task of taking great photos.

High definition video can be shot using the camera in 720p quality at a rate of 25 frames per second.

16 GB of internal storage is provided as standard which allows plenty of room for data such as media files.

The internal phonebook can store a seemingly endless number of entries and fields and comes with the popular Photocall function. This allows a photo to be assigned to a particular contact within the internal phonebook, which is in turn displayed on the screen whenever that person is in contact.

The Nokia N8 is relatively compact at 113.5x 59.1x 12.9 mm and weighs in at just 135 g. The combination of compact dimensions and its lightweight makes it a pocket friendly handset which is also comfortable to hold and use on the move.
